AuthorTopic: Weed Plants (Read 14439 times)

Heres a question I recently thought about, The weed plants look legit when they are growing clones in the hydro gear. When they are growing the huge plants in season 4 aren't these actual weed plants that they are wandering through and are starring in several episodes? There are fields of huge plants How does it work? Is this something that flies in Canada ? I dont imagine you could get away with this type of thing here in the states.Any insight would be interesting

Well, yes those were low-THC hemp plants, but our government must also grow reasonably potent stuff to fulfill their Supreme Court mandated obligation to make it available to those with gov't permits & prescriptions, correct?

Meanwhile:

THC refers to Tetrahydrocannabinols, which is the active chemical in cannabis, or marijuana, responsible for making its users high. Its chemical formula is C21-H30-O2.

THC is both fat and water soluble, meaning that it cannot be broken down by either. This is why the consumption of raw cannabis does not result in a high. However, through the use of alcohol or heat, THC can be drawn out of cannabis. Common examples of this include smoking cannabis, cooking cannabis in butter and using it in recipes such as brownies, or soaking cannabis in alcohol. Generally, the effects and length of being high are heightened when the THC in cannabis is consumed versus smoked.

The percentage of THC in cannabis varies greatly depending on quality, ranging anywhere from 1% - 8% for low grade cannabis, 8% - 16% for mid grade, and 17% - 24% for high grade. A higher level of THC is directly proportional to how high a user will feel.

Actually the weed the government grew in the old mine shafts was terrible from everything I heard. Patients were sending it back because it tasted horrid, and barely got them high compared to the "illegal" weed they had been buying from their own dealers beforehand. I also remember hearing that there were all sorts of minerals in the plants from whatever was mined in the tunnels before - and it was making people sick when they smoked it.

Thanks c.d., good info. I tried to get a student of mine, a 14 year old boy from Japan who'd come to Toronto for a heart transplant, to apply for gov't grass, but his mother was too afraid of getting involved with the gov't. The boy had to wait for over a year, and all the meds needed to keep him alive, made it almost impossible for him to eat enough to stay alive. Also his mum didn't want him on a drip or intubated, she wanted to try to keep him on real food. I took some independent action and he managed to develop a healthy appetite, surviving until he got his new heart. He is back home and in normal highschool - da weed saves lives, word!
